The Door That Never Closes: Real Stories from a Foster Home - 36 Placements Later - Paperback

Foster care is often talked about in statistics.

But behind every number is a story.

Since October of 2020, one family has opened their home to 36 foster placements-newborns, teenagers, sibling groups, and everything in between. Some stayed for a night. Some stayed for years. Some became family. And some left in ways that changed everything.

This is not a guide written from theory.

This is what foster care actually looks like-from the inside.

It's the late-night calls and last-minute placements.
The uncertainty of court decisions you don't control.
The heartbreak of loving children who leave.
And the unexpected moments of joy that make you keep saying yes.

Through deeply personal stories, this book explores:

• The reality of fostering infants and teenagers
• The emotional weight of sibling separation
• The challenges foster care brings to marriage, family, and faith
• What it means to foster with no guarantees
• And how to know if you're truly ready to say yes

Honest, unfiltered, and deeply human, The Door That Never Closes offers a perspective most people never see.

If you've ever considered becoming a foster parent-or wondered what it's really like-this book will give you the truth.

Not the easy version.

The real one.
